Pinning ceremony honors nursing graduates

NORTH NEWTON, KAN. – The annual pinning ceremony for Bethel College nursing majors recognizes all graduating seniors and includes special awards.

The event takes place on commencement weekend, this year on May 17.

Michelle Unruh, junior from Goessel, provided a piano prelude. After graduating senior Ariel Silva, Colorado Springs, Colorado, offered an invocation and outgoing Director of Nursing Phyllis Miller gave a welcome, there was special music by the women’s a cappella group Woven, of which Silva and Unruh are members.

The speaker was Geraldine Tyrell, assistant professor of nursing and newly appointed director of nursing. Following her address came the presentation of special awards.

The Janlee Blosser Maternal Child Nursing Award, named to honor the memory of a deceased director of nursing, went to Whitney Cunningham, McPherson.
